PLN25-00157 Hanson Fence Height Variance

The applicant is seeking a ministerial variance from Placer County’s zoning code to construct a five-foot-high black metal wrought-iron open fence and gate in the front setback of their property at 6107 Rockhurst Way in Granite Bay, California, where the permitted height is three feet. The request is grounded in the need to enhance the safety of two young children who play in the front yard, and the proposed fence meets the criteria for categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a minor alteration to land use under Class 3 and Class 5 exemptions. The variance application, identified as PLN25-00157, was approved on September 18, 2025, and publicly posted on October 7, 2025, with no competitive bidding or procurement process involved. The request is processed administratively by the Placer County Community Development Resource Agency, and no federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, payment terms, inspection protocols, or deliverables apply, as this is a local land use decision rather than a federal contract. The lead contact for the agency is Claudia Garcia, a technician reachable via phone or email, and no financial value, invoicing mechanisms, or contractor certifications are part of this administrative action. The project relies solely on compliance with Placer County Code Sections 18.36.050 and 18.36.070 and CEQA Guidelines 15303 and 15305, with no additional technical specifications, marking, packaging, or performance timelines mandated beyond the approval of the variance itself.
